Griffin Exotic Wood


Argentine Lignum Vitae
also known as guayacan
(bulnesia sarmientoi)

Argentine Lignum Vitae is an extremely dense wood with a high oil content.  It bears some resemblance to genuine lignum vitae but tends to be lighter in color.  The grain is very fine, and color can vary from that seen above to a very dark brownish green.  Like real lignum vitae (guiacum species), it has some use for boat and other bearings. It is not the same as verawood, which is bulnesia arborea. It is a great turning wood and the best replacement for genuine lignum vitae,  which has been banned for import and current stocks are nearly gone in the USA.  Free shipping is not available on this item.
